Bush supporters' aftermath thread II

Well, that's what Tico posted, Walter. We got it.

"She extended Martin's message against poverty, racism and war. She deplored the terror inflicted by our smart bombs on missions way afar. We know now that there were no weapons of mass destruction over there," Lowery said.

"But Coretta knew, and we know," Lowery continued, "That there are weapons of misdirection right down here," he said, nodding his head toward the row of presidents past and present. "For war, billions more, but no more for the poor!" The crowd again cheered wildly.

Former President Jimmy Carter later swung at Bush as well, not once but twice. As he talked about the Kings, he said: "It was difficult for them then personally with the civil liberties of both husband and wife violated as they became the target of secret government wiretaps." The crowd cheered as Bush, under fire for a secret wiretapping program he ordered after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, again smiled weakly.

Later, Carter said Hurricane Katrina showed that all are not yet equal in America.

Some black leaders have blamed Bush for the poor federal response,

and rapper Kayne West said that Bush "hates" black people.

And as Greenspan himself points out, by many measures the economy is doing well. Unemployment is down, GDP is up. Inflation still slumbers. Current standards of living are unmatched.

"So you can look at the system and say it's got a lot of problems to it, and sure it does. It always has," Greenspan told the JEC last week. "But you can't get around the fact that this is the most extraordinarily successful economy in history."

Amazing how upset you people get when people have the temerity to tell the truth.

"She extended Martin's message against poverty, racism and war. She deplored the terror inflicted by our smart bombs on missions way afar. We know now that there were no weapons of mass destruction over there," Lowery said.

The mostly black crowd applauded, then rose to its feet and cheered in a two-minute-long standing ovation.

No, I think it is always appropriate to tell the truth. The audience recognized this fact and responded accordingly.

Here's a book you should read:

Ed Kennedy was a member of the bereaved family; Bush is the President of the US, at the funeral for political reasons. So I'm not sure the situation is the same, are you clamining it was?

Also, I don't know enough about the Kennedy situation to say whether he killed someone or not. I'll have to take your word that that is true.

As an aside, I wish to express my complete disgust and contempt for a bunch of bad mannered, hateful Democrats who today used the funeral of Coretta Scott King for the purpose of bashing our President. This is about as low as it gets and should completely embarrass any decent members of that party.
